South Korea is genuinely fucked as a country. Population decline is going to ruin them. It's going to ruin a lot in the U.S as well.

Korea is not fucked. We're doing better than the US at fighting fascism. Birth rates are on the rise. Universal Healthcare is already decades ongoing. They're proposing a four day workweek. It's fucking paradise compared to much of the world.

Yeah that 4 day work week might become a thing. You'll just work 17 hours a day. Samsung just extended their work weeks to 64 hours a week regarding semiconductors after complaining about the 52 hours limit. You guys are good at fighting facism and corruption as long as Samsung isn't involved. And your birthrate raised by .03 to .75. A healthy population needs like 2.1. And you guys are not immune from inflation and global markets so your cost of living has gone up like everyone else. And considering the poverty rate for the super young and the really old are sky high things aren't looking good.

I'm not trying to shit on South Korea but you guys are just as fucked as everyone else. It's no paradise

The USA was actually on a survivable path with our low domestic birth rate because of the large immigration was compensating. Well, now we've fucked that up royally by kicking out our immigrants, and also made ourselves a pariah on the global stage so no new immigrants will want to come here.

also the tariffs, and the anti-science funding cuts have turned people off from the US.
